Acon Digital Verberate Reverb Software Plug-In, Electronic Download

Thanks for using Acon Digital Verberate. Verberate is an algorithmic reverb plug-in from Acon Digital that simulates real acoustical surroundings with an unprecedented degree of realism. Several conventional building blocks in traditional digital reverb design have been replaced by novel methods that allow Verberate to produce convincing early reflections and the dense reverb tails that characterize impulse response measurements of real acoustical surroundings. Reverberation Reverberation occurs when sound is produced in an enclosed acoustical environment. Even outdoors, there is likely to be some level of reverberation, however subtle. The sound propagates through the air before it arrives at the listener, but the sound is also reflected when it hits walls or other objects. Due to the propagation time, these reflections arrive at the listener later than the sound from the direct path. After a certain build-up time, there are usually so many reflections that no distinct echoes are distinguishable, but rather a smoothly decaying sound. The first few reflections, usually called early reflections, are important cues for our perception of an acoustical environment. For that reason, most digital reverberation units differentiate between early reflections and the dense late reverberation. Verberate simulates both the early reflections and the dense reverberation in a way that comes extremely close to what can be measured in a real acoustical environment. An important tool when analyzing the reverberation of real rooms is the impulse response, which can be measured by playing a very short impulsive sound (the impulse) and recording the resulting reverberation. The figures below are examples of impulse responses obtained from Acon Digital Verberate as well as from a real measurement of a concert hall.
